Pigs on the run, repeated reports of a drone hovering outside a house, and men ramming a postbox with a car in Cambridgeshire are being dealt with by police.

Officers have released details of investigations and incidents along with appeals for information.

In Ailwine Road, Upwood at 2.30am on Saturday (November 12), police received a call from a resident of who had been awoken by what was thought to be a drone hovering outside his house.

This was reportedly not the first such incident, and a police patrol was diverted to search the area. However, nothing suspicious was found.

And pigs who have made repeated bids for freedom were at it again.

In Ramsey Road, RAF Upwood, police were called mid-afternoon on Sunday (November 13) following several reports of pigs loose on the road, causing a hazard to motorists.

The animals had escaped from a building on the disused RAF Upwood site and had got through a hole in the fence onto the road. Some had also crossed the road and entered the gardens of houses on Valiant Square. Police stopped traffic on the road for a time and together with members of the public and the animals’ owner, succeeded in returning them to their enclosure.

And again in Ramsey Road, Upwood at 9.15pm on Thursday (November 17) police received a report that a car had been seen attempting to ram a post-box near the junction of Ramsey Road and Upwood High Street.

Two male suspects had then been seen to drive off. When police arrived, the post storage box, rather than the post-box itself, seemed to have been the object of the attack, but no damage was visible. It is believed that the storage box is normally empty at this time of day.
